I'm a research assistant in a herpetology lab for Texas A&M University. My favorite part of my job is getting out and doing field work. We often camp or live in a bunkhouse for our field work. The beauty of the field season in Texas is that it lasts for 9 months! When I'm not working in the field, I typically try to get out and play in the field. Camping, herping, fishing, birding, or just driving into the forest/desert/plains/wherever is outside. I've recently begun backpacking and am looking forward to the new adventures and challenges that await me.
